BTS‘ target=’_blank’>Wilson & Alroy’s Record Reviews
The ploy worked: the up-tempo “Forever Man” was a Top 40 hit and indeed has good vocal and guitar hooks; “See What Love Can Do” got endless airplay despite merely sanitizing Clapton’s usual reggae shuffle formula; and James Newton Howard and Lindsay Buckingham guest on the flabby, generic “Something’s Happening.” But Clapton seems to have been so cowed by the experience that he lost interest in songwriting for more than a decadeand as a whole the album is aimless and impersonal. East stayed on for the next record. BTS‘ target=’_blank’>[…]

Scott’s Rock and Soul Album Reviews
Eric admits that he went out of his way to please his record company at the timeand the compromised Phil Collins dominated end result detracts from even the best songs here. Still, as previously mentioned, Clapton plays more guitar here than on any recent albumsand there are some very good songs, too, horribly recorded though they may have been. […]

Rolling Stone
Maybe that’s why he sounds so desperate and convincing, like a man who wants to jump not only out of his skin but right off the track, as he sings “Just Like a Prisoner.” For Clapton, there’s still time — and hope — for escape. […]
